Hi all - I had my egg retrieval yesterday. From 20 follicles, they were able to retrieve 15 eggs. 9 of those were mature and were ICSI'd. They called me today to say that 8 had survived the night. I am worried as almost 50% of my eggs are already 'unsuccessful' and wondered if anyone had similar numbers with a successful transfer on day 3 or 5. X

Do you mind me asking how old you are? I was 28 when I did my retrieval and they told me 1 out of 3 of my eggs are good at that age. I retrieved 40, 27 made it to maturity 20 made it to day 5 and 14 came back from genetic testing normal and healthy so they were right.

There is hope. We retrieved 20 eggs, 10 were mature, only 3 made it to day 5. We opted to not do any genetic testing and just go for it. We transferred one and I am now almost 20 weeks pregnant! Keep up the positivity and hope.

Yeah I had successful first time ICSI I am 32 yrs old had 14 mature enough eggs, 12 fertilized and down to 10 on day 3 and only 2 (bad quality ones left) on day 5 and none to freeze and they opted to transfer 2 on day 5 due to the poor quality and one has took currently 14 weeks + 4 days I still however have OHSS brought on by the pregnancy my left ovary has calmed down a little but my right ovary is still 4-5 times the normal size it's not been fun! But worth it for my little miracle! Wishing everyone luck

Very similar numbers. 15 eggs, 9 embryos from a ivf/icsi split cycle, of those 5 survived until 5days. 1 IVF embryo implanted the first round - a 4aa embryo and no success. An ICSI embryo implanted in a frozen cycle and we now have our 14month old angel!! We had to defrost our remaining embryos to get our sweet thing so none in storage.

I'm 33 and have low ovarian reserve. They retrieved 12, 11 were mature and ICSI'd, 8 fertilized, 7 made it to day 3 and then I wound up with 2 day 6 blasts which are currently frozen. I decided to go right into a second cycle to try to get more frozen so I could send them all for PGS/PGD at once. The whole thing is very nerve wracking. I am on day 8 of my second cycle and hoping I get some this go around. Praying.

8 is still good. May I ask what round this is? I went through 2 rounds and the first had 11 eggs and only 1 blastocyst (ended up being abnormal when we did chromosome tests). The second I had nine eggs and only 4 blastocyst with normal chromosome testing (we lost one from the testing).
